Sarah Johnson went hiking May 16, 2018 5.5 miles 500 feet gained

Dry Fork Narrows Slot Canyon, Spooky Canyon - Grand Staircase-Escalante

1

The road to this trailhead is BAD, we added an extra two miles to our hike because we could not reach the trailhead. 4WD only for the last mile.

This trail was well marked with cairns, but the opportunity for exploring is awesome. Many different slot canyons in this area, being late in the day we opted for Spooky and Dry Creek Narrows. Peak a Boo looked a bit technical right from the get go, involving a scramble just to get up and in. We stopped when it became apparent that the rest of the canyon would require more scrambling/climbing, for fear of losing our remaining daylight.

Spooky lived up to its name, immediately becoming very narrow and dark. Remnants of debris from flash floods hung overhead giving me an eerie feeling, much respect to the power of water.
